Roma to consider alternatives?

Denis Zakaria has been one of the most frequently mentioned names connected with a move to Juventus in recent weeks. The Bianconeri intend to boost the center of the park by bringing in some fresh and active arrivals to replace some of the deadwood. Last night, the Switzerland international put in a strong performance against Italy in a critical World Cup qualifier at the Olimpico Stadium, which finished in a 1-1 draw.

Roma was considered one of the favorites to sign the Borussia Monchengladbach player even before Juventus entered the picture. The 24-year-contract old's is set to expire at the conclusion of the season, and his status as a free agent makes him an enticing target for suitors. While it is unknown whether Zakaria would be able to fix all of Max Allegri's problems in the middle of the park, his presence would undoubtedly be seen as another move in the right direction, following Manuel Locatelli's summer transfer.
